Description:Mask is an album by Bauhaus, released in 1990. Mask includes a.o. the following tracks: â??Hair Of The Dogâ?, â??Of Lillies And Remainsâ?, â??The Man With The X-Ray Eyesâ?, â??Maskâ? and more. The album is a pop CD. -
In 1981, Bauhaus had no competition in the field of "Goth" music and could afford to experiment a little. MASK is the group's second album, and it contains some of their best work. There is the groove of "Dancing", a track that contains one of the album's two curious references to ballet dancer Nijinsky (the other is in "Muscle in Plastic"), and the creepy "Hollow Hills", it's bass-driven skeleton decorated with distant peals of feedback and sparse drumming. The title cut features Peter Murphy singing over a backwards music track that adds considerable menace to the bizarre lyrics. Originally 10 songs long, the CD adds five supplemental tracks gathered from singles. These extra tracks include the comparatively straightforward white reggae of "Harry" and a weird 4-part song wherein each band member takes the lead. Bassist David Jay sets the falsely soothing tale of a trial to the rattle of a drum machine. Murphy's piece is a guide to making fish cakes.

"Mask" is the influential second studio album by British post-punk band Bauhaus, released in 1981 on CD format. This record showcases the band's evolution from their gothic rock roots into a more experimental and diverse soundscape, blending dark atmospheres with elements of funk, dub, and psychedelia. Tracks like "Kick in the Eye," "The Passion of Lovers," and "Hollow Hills" highlight Bauhaus's signature haunting vocals and innovative instrumentation. The album has been widely praised for its artistic ambition and remains a cornerstone of alternative music history. Bauhaus formed in Northampton, England in 1978 and are often credited as pioneers of gothic rock. Their debut single "Bela Lugosi?s Dead" became an underground classic, setting the tone for their career marked by atmospheric soundscapes and theatrical performances. With albums such as "In the Flat Field" and "Mask," Bauhaus achieved critical acclaim worldwide before disbanding in 1983; they have since reunited several times to much fanfare. The manufacturer Beggars Banquet/Beggars G/Ind is renowned within the independent music scene for supporting groundbreaking artists across genres since its founding in 1977. Known for championing acts that push musical boundaries?including Gary Numan, The Cult, The National, among others?Beggars Banquet has played a pivotal role in shaping modern alternative music culture through quality releases like this one.
